Hey, I've been having issues with my Page File Usage. I was having this issue a week ago, and then I just reformatted and it still persists. At this moment in time my PF Usage is at 1.8GB, kinda large. If I reset my computer the PF Usage also resets, like it should.
I have followed the directions in the tweak companion guide at www.tweakguides.com to set my virtual memory on p. 48 and I did the defragging and everything. Anyhow, I have 2GB of OCZ 2.5 CAS memory so I set my initial and max virtual memory to 200MB. Below that it says I have 200 MB allocated. I have "custom size" selected. But it still doesn't affect my PF Usage. I guess my first question would be if I'm even talking about the same thing. Page File Usage is the same thing as Virtual Memory, right? Everyone I've talked to has said they are. Also, here's a brief overview of my system:
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 1MB 90nm Rev. E San Diego (939)
Sound: Creative X-Fi Music Edition
Video: ATI (Sapphire) Radeon X800 XL 256 MB DDR3/PCI-E/TV-Out/DVI
RAM: 2GB 3200 DDR OCZ Dual Channel Platinum
PSU: 520W OCZ520ADJ PowerStream w/Adjustable Power Rails
MoBo: Asus A8N-E nForce4 Audio/GB-LAN/USB/PCI-E/SATAII/DDR/ATX 64 939
HDD: 160GB Maxtor IDE (from my old computer)
I have the latest drivers for all of these, so it shouldn't be driver issues. Can anyone help me? Could it be a hardware issue and not a software issue?
